Captain Scott's farewell letter

A letter written by Captain Scott shortly before his death in the Antarctic is displayed at Bonhams auction house in London. This is one of the highlights of Bonhams' forthcoming 'Polar Sale: Scott and Amundsen Centenary', to be held on March 30. The letter, which is estimated to sell for £100,000-150,000 pounds, was written to the financier Sir Edwin Speyer who had chaired the fundraising committee for Scott's expedition.
It's due to be auctioned.
